Automated Functions in the Future Automated Driving System in Control
Level 3: Within known, limited environments (such as freeways), the driver can safely turn their attention away from driving tasks.
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_car
Level 4: The automated system can control the vehicle in all but a few environments such as severe weather. The driver must enable the automated system only when it is safe to do so. When enabled, driver attention is not required.
Level 5: Other than setting the destination and starting the system, no human intervention is required. The automatic system can drive to any location where it is legal to drive.

Camera• Camera records video interpreted by computer
vision algorithms.
• Pros: Can distinguish and classify objects, suchas signs, lane markings, traffic lights. May also be able to classify more complex objects suchas animals and pedestrians.
• Cons: Can only see what camera cansee, challenges in low light or brightsun light`

Radar• Car transmits radio waves and interprets the
back reflection from objects
• Pros: Can detect large objects and can easily calculate speed and distance. Works in all weather and lighting conditions, day or night.
•Cons: Cannot distinguish color or differentiate between objects. All same size objects look thesame.

LIDAR• Car transmits light pulses and interprets the
back reflection from objects
• Pros: Can detect specific objects and calculate distance. Can detect lines and edges of the road.Works during day and in the dark at night,
•Cons: In inclement weather, the light can reflect from rain, snow, or fog, reducing the effectiveness and detection range.

16 MICROVISION, INC. COPYRIGHT 2016. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.11/23/2016
Safety improvement for Assisted Driving - HUD• A Head-Up Display (HUD) overlays essential
information on top of the driving scene ahead so that the driver can consume the information without taking eyes of the road.
• Essential information may include • For Manual Driving:
• Speed• Gear & RPM• Navigation info
• For Assisted Driving: • Adaptive Cruise Control state• Lane Departure Warning• Blind Spot Warning• Obstacle Ahead Alert• Traffic Signs

Challenges ahead for Autonomous Vehicles (Trouble in Paradise)• Vehicle innovations tend to be realized more slowly than other technological advances due to their
high costs, slow fleet turnover and strict safety requirements. Technical obstacles that need to be addressed:
• Software reliability• Car’s sensing and navigation systems susceptibility to different types of weather conditions
or deliberate interference (jamming and spoofing)• Securing car’s central computer from hacking• Availability to high-quality, accurate, and up to date maps• Availability of radio spectrum for V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) and V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure)
communications• Legislation and regulations need to catch up:
• Implementation of legal framework and establishment of government regulations for autonomous vehicles.
• Insurance, who is liable for accidents of autonomous vehicles?
• Individual perceptions and attitudes need to evolve:• Resistance by individuals to forfeit control of their cars• Customer concern about the safety of driverless cars• Loss of driving-related jobs. Resistance from professional drivers and unions.

Conclusion & Call to Action • The value of cars are shifting from chassis and drivetrain to electronics,
sensors, and software.-> Large opportunity for MEMS & Sensors industry
• And finally, automation in cars can bring significant benefits to the society in large: reduced accidents and traffic fatalities, less pollution, increased productivity.
-> Opportunity to MEMS & Sensor industry to do good and do well at the same time
• However, designing MEMS to meet automotive quality standards can be challenging
-> Consider automotive requirements from the beginning
• Automotive supply chain can be complex and difficult to penetrate-> Look to partner with established OEM, Tier 1, or Tier 2 companies (depending on the application)
